The Seattle Sounders got off to a fantastic start in the MLS season with their 4-0 win against the Colorado Rapids. Some of the goals may have been a little on the flukey side, but the lead-up to those goals was the kind of repeatable approach that should bode well for Seattle’s fortunes in 2023. Seattle’s best players were consistently dangerous, and João Paulo was back on the field doing all of the little things that, through the magic of alchemy, turn into chances, goals, and wins.
Now they host the other half of the Rocky Mountain Cup: Real Salt Lake.
